{"id":"CVE-2026-44784","summary":"Discourse: Non-staff group owners can see email password in plaintext through group history","details":"Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. From versions 2026.1.0-latest to before 2026.1.4, 2026.3.0-latest to before 2026.3.1, and 2026.4.0-latest to before 2026.4.1, group owners who are not necessarily admins or moderators can view a group's outgoing email/SMTP credentials in plaintext via the group history log (/groups/:name/logs.json). Affected fields: email_password, email_username, smtp_server, smtp_port, smtp_ssl_mode. The most sensitive item is the SMTP password, which an owner could use to send mail as the group from outside Discourse. This impacts sites that have configured per-group SMTP credentials and granted group ownership to users who should not have access to those credentials. This issue has been patched in versions 2026.1.4, 2026.3.1, 2026.4.1, and 2026.5.0-latest.1.","aliases":["BIT-discourse-2026-44784","GHSA-94c5-j24g-r99f"],"modified":"2026-07-08T08:26:38.877241048Z","published":"2026-06-12T20:23:52.279Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-200"],"cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/44xxx/CVE-2026-44784.json"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/44xxx/CVE-2026-44784.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse/security/advisories/GHSA-94c5-j24g-r99f"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-44784"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/discourse/discourse","events":[{"introduced":"322d3c0ac6a8f133b3f82875e9dbbe310f638c1b"},{"fixed":"ec5d54b3291729ec201615c64d954545000896b9"},{"introduced":"896e810e1b296478bba91559a8fc89a9926f11fe"},{"fixed":"211de17ca39dec7bcb6afebdc9c79cebdc0b4495"},{"introduced":"fdd750d960e603415db62242eca3c30d68e366db"},{"fixed":"6bb9b59d5d3f5d0c813187a102318e9e4ae49647"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"2026.1.0-latest"},{"fixed":"2026.1.4"},{"introduced":"2026.3.0-latest"},{"fixed":"2026.3.1"},{"introduced":"2026.4.0-latest"},{"fixed":"2026.4.1"}],"source":"AFFECTED_FIELD"}}],"versions":["2026.5.0","v2026.4.0","v2026.1.3","v2026.3.0","v2026.4.0-latest","v2026.1.2","v2026.3.0-latest.1","v2026.1.1","v2026.3.0-latest","v2026.1.0","stable","esr","v2026.1.0-latest"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-44784.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"}]}
